Scientists are in the process of confirming that there was once life on Mars - with the help of an Oxford Instruments X-Ray Technology product. Using a drill on its robotic arm, NASA’s Curiosity rover recently collected a second rock sample for analysis by its onboard Chemistry and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin). Researchers expect to confirm preliminary findings from the first drilling in February, which indicate that the red planet was once f...

New-generation electronic designs are focused on rugged performance while being highly portable and light weight. Simultaneously, circuitry is increasing the number of functions it performs and the processing speed to which it performs at. Connecting cablesfrom the active elements in both medical electronics and military equipment,such as cameras or detectors, must be small, flexible and light weight.

PEWATRON announces the new DOG Series Dual- and Single-Axis Inclinometer from MEAS Germany. DOG2 is a dynamic, low cost, high performing dual axis inclinometer. It is perfectly suited for levelling and tilt monitoring applications with highest demands on accurate measurement in harsh environments (e.g. temperature, shock, humidity). Based on a 3-axis MEMS accelerometer, the DOG2 Series are available in standard measurement ranges of ±25°, ±45�...

Ben continues a project to build a dog treat dispenser complete with remote controls and a web cam. In part three, Ben has the Raspberry Pi serve up a web page to remotely control the device and to show the live video feed.

ADLINK Technology announces the release of its new EOS-1220 GigE Vision-compliant embedded vision system, featuring 3rd Generation Intel Core i7 quad core processors, four independent PoE ports, full compatibility with GigE Vision cameras and support for smart PoE APIs, allowing remote switching of PoE status.

Illuminar Technologies is launching its compact, robust and super accurate Predator DSP-controlled desktop laser marking system at this year’s Laser World of Photonics exhibition. The brand new Predator series incorporates Illuminar’s advanced, proprietary digital signal processor (DSP) based laser control system and a high-quality laser source, all in an attractive and durable enclosure with a small footprint.

Trio Motion Technology has updated its Motion Perfect v3 application development, configuration and connectivity software for the acclaimed MC4 Motion Coordinator range of multi-axis motion and machine controllers. The latest release, version V3.1.1, includes several new features and enhancements including single-point programming support for Trio’s new UNIPLAY HMI 7” and 10” operator interfaces, an updated Project Encryptor for code and in...

Ben continues to build his remote controlled dog treat dispenser. Just because you're not home, doesn't mean you can't spoil your dog or cat. In the second part of this project, Ben works on the Raspberry Pi computer that will help control the remote functions of the treat dispenser.

In the past year, a new name in metalcutting equipment has come to the fore in the UK since Whitehouse Machine Tools, Kenilworth, took over the sole sales and service agency for Spinner Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik GmbH, near Munich. It gives British manufacturers the option of buying top quality, European-built machines at prices that are more competitive than those offered by more established names.

In this interesting article from ES Design magazine, Horst Gether, Product Manager, ams AG, poses the following question: Can active noise cancelling improve speech intelligibility even in a single-ear headset? Read on to find out.
